RALPH GROW, OF GALE'SBURG, ILLINOIS.

IMPROVIED BENZOLE SOAP.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 35,372, dated May27,1862.

To all whom it may concern: my

Be'itknown that LRALPH GROW, of Galesburg, in the county of Knox andState of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inSoap and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, andexact description of the mode of making said soap.

1 take thirty pounds of any kind of soap, prepared in any of thenowknown ways, place it in a suitable vessel, and then add one gallon ofbenzole. I then dissolve these overafire and mix them thoroughly. Aftermixing, the soap may be'poured 05 into molds and cooled for use. Thebenzole may be poured into the soap while on the fire and beforeit isallowed to cool, then mixed and allowed to cool for use.

Soap made in this way will readily remove all grease-spots, or varnish,or paint, or pitch, or anything of the kind from cloth or from the handsor skin. The skin, when washed with this soap, will be left smooth andsoft.

I do not confine myself to the exact proportions herein mentioned, asdifferent proportions may be used to produce substantially the sameeffect.

Having thus fully described my invention,

what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The employment of benzole, when used in the manufacture of soaps,substantially as herein specified.
